Falwell, Jackson meet

LYNCHBURG — For the second time in as many days, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Jerry Falwell sat quietly and listened to each other talk about how to end apartheid in South Africa.

After being invited to the Sunday service at Thomas Road Baptist Church, Rev. Jackson told the packed, almost entirely white congregation there that he and Rev. Falwell had agreed to be in search of common ground on apartheid.

“We have shared various points of view on how to end apartheid,” said Rev. Jackson, a civil rights leader. “It must end as quickly and bloodlessly as possible.”

Saturday night, after a day of anti-apartheid, antiFalwell demonstrations, the two met and later spoke to about 2,000 protesters at Court Street Baptist Church.

“After being invited by the ecumenical ministers to speak at the rally, I appealed to them to set up a meeting with Rev. Falwell,” Rev. Jackson said. “I thought it was important to talk to him.”

Rev. Falwell, the founder of Moral Majority, said he thought it only fair to let Rev. Jackson speak at Thomas Road Baptist Church after he spoke at Saturday’s rally.

But before Rev. Jackson spoke, Rev. Falwell said he mentioned to Rev. Jackson that he did not like to politicize the church service.

“I told Jesse that it would probably be better not to have a debate forum,” Rev. Falwell said, “but to say anything he wished.”

At the service, Jackson said South Africa was a fundamental moral issue best addressed by the Golden Rule.

“The Golden Rule is still the rule that will bring peace and justice to this world,” he said. “Treat all children as our children.”
